Another note says that the game “displays compatibility warnings when running on Steam Deck, but runs fine,” which doesn’t seem like much of an issue compared to some of the issues I bumped up against in Strange Horticulture. That’s more or less the only knock against it. When I expand the compatibility details, I’m told the game requires use of a keyboard if I want to log into my Square Enix account. ![]() Even so, it has a yellow label indicating that the game will work on the device, but may need some workarounds. ![]() It aced its benchmark test when I ran it and was generally a natural experience in handheld mode. Shadow of the Tomb Raider runs especially smooth on the device. It’s clear that the game hasn’t been optimized for Steam Deck, but what baffles me is why it received verified status while some other games I’ve played have a second-tier “playable” label instead. Luckily, the game features an “auto-label” option, though using it takes away some of the satisfaction and limits how players can create labels. The Steam Deck’s keyboard is so cumbersome that typing out plant names took three times as long on the handheld as it would have on a PC. I had to squint to see location names on the map or read tiny dialogue options. The text is ridiculously tiny across the board when viewed on a s7-inch screen. It’s a fantastic deduction game, but one I wish I hadn’t played on Steam Deck.

The core gameplay loop is that customers request specific plants and players need to correctly identify it from rows of unlabeled plants. ![]() In Strange Horticulture, players run a plant shop while trying to solve an occult mystery.
